Love Doesn't Always Win

Last month a book was published entitled Love Wins by esteemed author and pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church, Rob Bell. Pastor Bell is an interesting fellow because he follows Christianity with Eastern overtones. His latest book has caused a stir amongst evangelicals due to the interpretation of the doctrine regarding Hell. Pastor Bell asserts that this book deals with the misguided understanding of Hell as a place of eternal torment and that a "loving God" would not permit His creatures to fall prey to such a place. In this book Pastor Bell becomes another promoter of the fallacious doctrine of universal reconciliation or universalism, which is the same doctrine that caused popular evangelist Carlton Pearson to be ousted from bishopric and labeled as an heretic. Pastor Bell's  description of his book, in his own words, is that it "is a case for living with mystery rather than demanding certitude." The problem with this statement is that the Bible is quite clear on whether hell exists, why people go there, and ultimately what could be done to prevent a person's entrance. God does not leave us in ignorance.

Its Wrong Because It Is SIN

We hear so much in this day and time about the LGBT agenda and homophobia and the like. Those that subscribe to the LGBT lifestyle says that anyone who disagrees with their lifestyle is promoting hate, while some of the people that disagree with the LGBT lifestyle treats homosexuals as a sub-human species. The fact of the matter is that homosexuals lesbians, gays, bi and transexuals are people. There every bit of human as anyone else. The issue with homosexuality is that so many are treating the symptoms but not getting to the root of the problem. One of the problems people have with the LGBT lifestyle is that its nasty, which I agree. Anytime a man plays with the sewage line of another male is wrong, disgusting, and putrid. But I don't disagree with the homosexual lifestyle based on its despicable repugnance,  I disagree with it because it is sin. See sin is the root of it all, and too many are treating homosexuals wrong because they think their sexual orientation is nasty. First of all, they should be treated like human beings, and second of all, it should be understood that they (the LGBT) are battling with a problem called sin. Sin is the root that's causing the fruit of homosexuality to  be as filthy and damaging that it is. Those that live that lifestyle should be delivered from sin; when sin is dealt with people will see the LGBT changed-or what the Bible calls, born again. This is the message that we should carry to those of the LGBT community, that what they are doing is not only nasty from man's point of view but its sin from God's point of view and God would have them delivered through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. The LGBT community should know that God loves them and wants to heal them just as he wants to heal/deliver the alcoholic from his drunken stupor, the prostitute from her promiscuity, the liar from lying, the gambler from gambling, the gangster from thugging, etc. SIN is the problem, but JESUS is the solution. We must not forget that the LGBT lifestyle is wrong because its sin, not simply because its nasty, and that God loves us all.  Be Blessed!

Disease or Demons???

I'm back and I have a lot of material and issues to get off my chest. Truly these are the last days and its time to become aware of the enemy of our souls-the devil/Satan, and his exploits in this world. This blog post is coming from an article I read in the Dallas Morning News paper detailing an incident with a young man who killed a teacher in cold blood. It was said of this young man named Byron that "he's proved he is a continuing threat...he's committed five knife attacks by the time he's 16, with one death and several other serious injuries. There's no reason to think it won't happen again. But there's a bigger question here: What do we do with kids like this?" In order to answer Tonda Curry's question, the Assistant DA of Smith County, we need to determine the root cause of this young man's dilemma. Most people would probably say this is a young man with mental issues. In fact according to the report Emily Fallis, a forensic pschologist, concluded that the teen is a schizophrenic and remains delusional and dangerous. It is true that there are people who suffer from schizophrenia and is manic depressive and bipolar, however, it would be wrong to assume that each case of psychotic manslaughter is due to mental instability.
